The Bonita Springs Lions Club (BSLC) is partnering with Shop Local Productions and Rodes Restaurant to bring back a farmers’ market at 3756 Bonita Beach Rd. SW, in the parking lot of the restaurant from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays, starting October 8. A large percentage of profits from the operations will be donated to the BSLC, which supports many area charities, has helped in development of several youth sports facilities and operates an eye clinic where the uninsured can receive free care.

For more than 35 years, the club was the only Saturday farmers’ market in Bonita until their lease was not renewed at The Promenade Shoppes three years ago. Attempts were made to revive the market at other locations, but they did not succeed.

Rodes owner Mike Morton says, “The Lions Club is a great group that helps so many causes in Bonita Springs. We are community-minded, so it made sense to partner with them. We hope that the community will support them here on Saturdays.”
